      Meanwhile in the Kootenays…SOAPBOX

      How does that old adage go...the one about the lemons?

      Yup, I had lots of big plans for today. I was going to sweat my ass off and make my quads scream for mercy, I was going to punish the uptrack and slay the down. I started out strong but after a series of unfortunate gear related issues (broken straps,dead skins) and other non gear related issues (lazy?) I settled for having a mid-mountain tea party and "sporty" strapless shred sesher back to the car with my Dog Chico-San.

      And you know what? It was EPIC! Maybe not epic in the gnarly line kinda way, but definitely epic in the laugh your ass off kinda way, oh and also the stop to smell the roses and cuddle the crap outta your dog friend kinda way. #wedidntevenmakeittothealpine #makinglemonade

      Well.. you have gotten farther then me.

      Is your dog Japanese? (..just wondering about the -san)

      Advanced camp looks pretty comfy there.. I don`t see the car along the background anywhere.

      dromo_mania...no my dog isn't japanese, but i have a japanese friend named Chica-san... so when I adopted chico the dog i unintentionally defaulted to the familiar suffix and the rest is history!  I think it has a nice ring to it and is also a show of respect, win/win!
